Song Pattern

This is how I hear the song. You might hear it another way, so experiment with your own patterns. Every row represents 8 beats of the music. Every symbol represents the type of choreography that happens during that beat of music.

Symbol Key:

X = Arms alternate pushing forward, and then to the side (push the water forward with the right palm, push the water forward with the left palm, push the water to the right side with the right palm, push the water to the left side with the left palm, etc...) Legs move in a standard wide leg aquatic jog.

O = Very slow Lambada, about 1/4 the usual Lambada tempo. Legs alternate right, left, right... left, right left. Hips are engaged pushing away from the body on the supporting leg. Arms are slightly flexed at the elbow, and wrists rotate in a breast stroke motion.

# = The Lambada continues, however on the fourth beat the free leg remains extended and crosses the body, working the inner and outer thigh. The arms continue as above however during the fourth beat the arm on the same side as the crossing leg pushes through the water in the opposite direction.
